Scala: multiple pathPrefixes with Spray - scala

Question

I'm trying to create an API with Spray which listens to 2 prefixes. These 2 prefixes in turn listen to optional integers.
This is the setup that I am trying to achieve:
val itemRoute = {
pathPrefix("configs") {
<...>
}
pathPrefix("samples") {
<...>
}
}
This way, the API can listen to calls like http://www.example.com/samples/2
However, with said snippet, only one of the two prefixes are listened to.
I have tried different syntax styles, like putting a ~ inbetween twe pathPrefix blocks, and incorporating pathPrefixTest. Is this an issue with my syntax, and how can I achieve multiple pathPrefixes?

Use Akka http, Spray:
spray is no longer maintained and has been superseded by Akka HTTP.
Please check out the migration guide for help with the upgrade.
Commercial support is available from Lightbend.
Anyway, that example would work:
package test
import akka.http.scaladsl.server.Directives._
import akka.http.scaladsl.Http
import akka.actor.ActorSystem
import akka.stream.ActorMaterializer
object TesHttp {
val routes = pathPrefix("configs") {
complete {
"configs"
}
} ~
pathPrefix("samples") {
complete {
"samples"
}
}
def main(args: Array[String]) : Unit = {
implicit val system = ActorSystem()
implicit val mat = ActorMaterializer()
import system.dispatcher
println("Starting ..")
val binding = Http().bindAndHandle(routes, interface = "localhost", 9091)
}
}
